According to Variety, Farshid Fallah was speaking at the Augmented World Expo in Santa Clara, California where he said Samsung has plans to release "multiple AR and VR producers" over the next few years.

The comments were made during a panel outlining the firm's AR and VR strategy, the focus was largely on the new Galaxy S10 handset which features an advanced depth sensor.

It also comes with the Bixby Version feature, which lets users identify objects - and even buy them online - through the phone's camera.
